so that stopped me cold. so i said, how do you help children if you can't get the money to them before they're 18? the end result was, you can't. you have to wait until they're 18. and so i begged and borrowed and adapted the notion of a futures account, which, based on the prim that every year a child is alive you will deposit $3,000 into a futures account. at age 18 the child would have access the futures account, the adult now, or lon logical adult would have access to the futures account. and you can use the money for two things, not surprisingly, access to higher education. doesn't have to be a university. just post secondary education, and/or use the money for housing. it would accumulate to about $54,000 a year, which not coincidentally is what it would cost you for one year at penn or four years as a state supported institution, and $54,000 interestingly enough is 20% -- a little bitern 2340% for the median selling price of a house. -- 20% of the median selling price of a house in the united states. s

by this let me to one step further -- let me go one step further. i've been in a situation where you had a result last year, you made x amount of money, and you had a peculiar situation that created that situation. so you had a bumpy year. do you think that the board or the shareholders take that in consideration? you've gone from this level of profit to this level. guess what? next year you're going from this level to that. well, that's where these things became problematic. because what's going to happen, the ceo and everyone is going to fiddle here, fiddle there, and at some time it will just explode because of the growth factor. i've had one time the ceo of a largest processing company, and he comes and visits, i was chairman of a little company, and he didn't even ask to look at the financials. he didn't even visit the company. we sat down in a room and made us an offer based on one thing; what are your saleses? because the market had told him that he needs to get more market share. and so he just was going around gobbling up -- so these are th

i can't tell you how many town halls i've gone to and had folks approach me and say you know i'm 62 years old, i have these three conditions i'm wrestling with, i'm just trying to stay alive until i hit 65 so i can get medical care. that's a common situation in a country where many people do not have health insurance. and to raise the age by an additional two years for those folks who have no medical care would be cruel at best, and for some, it would be a death sentence. that was unacceptable. others proposed that we take and instead of making the cost of living provision in social security match better what seniors buy, they proposed making it match less well what seniors buy. saving money by inaccurately estimating the impacts of cost of living increases. it's important to recognize that neither of these elements that would have attacked the benefits of medicare and social security were in the bill last night. that those programs were not on the table. so because we needed to avert a recession, because we needed to make sure we didn't slash unemployment, cut people off at the knees ove

[laughter] it's possible i've been invited because i'm also an avid viewer of a showtime series homeland, about a jihadists trader working his way up into the highest levels of the u.s. government position himself for a run at the vice president and the reminiscent of the -- alger hiss or a henry wallace. i think the more obvious reason why i've been invited is because nathaniel is extremely very, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, very, very, very persistent and he would not take no for an answer, even though i kept explaining to him that i have very little knowledge of whittaker chairs beyond having read the book when i was approximately 16 years old, like many people, and having been influenced by. i do not feel i'm in any way an expert on chambers or "witness" or its influence on imp
